Chemical Structure

3-(Ethylthio)-butanoic Acid CAS 89534-40-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 3-(Ethylthio)-butanoic Acid is closely related to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

3-(Ethylthio)-butanoic Acid (CAS 89534-40-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C6H12O2S and a molecular weight of 148.22 g/mol.

Owing to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 3-(Ethylthio)-butanoic Acid is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 148.22 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques.

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

CATO manufactures 3-(Ethylthio)-butanoic Acid under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
